relaxation is. -necessary, and the bow, to

bdt le idler is the man who keeps it always

Every man, rich or poor, ought to hive

engagement to which his main. energies are
devoted. Not enjoyment, but duty, daily
duty, must be the: aim- of.each life. No

puts pleasure exactly in the place of duty.

while the mind, excited only by -.novelties

There is more hope of the reformation of

made in March, 166 (p. 21,) its first legis.
lative assembly - wpconvened the same.
year, (p. 28,) its see rd ..in 1637, and its
third in 1638. Atii -third session, an. act
was passed, in which- was .declared,jthat.
"Holy' Church wi the province ;shall
have and enjoy all i rights, liberties, and.
franchises, wholly without blemish."
The author cites fo authority. "Bacon's

which allowed of no-prefefence to any"
(P.'29.) " In 1640, it-was r-enacted ih the
same words, as' we shall see, at a future pe
riod, became a perpetual law of 'the pro.
vince." '(p. 30.)
The author represents the- law enacted
after the suppression of Clayborne's rebel
lion and the restoration of Calvert, in 1740,
is. enjoining "that no person professing to
believe in Jesus Christ, should be molested,
in respect of their religion, or in - the free
exercise thereof, or be compelled- to- the
belief or exercise of any other religion,
against their consent; so that they be not
unfaithful to -the proprietary, or conspire
against the civil government: t1at persons
molesting any other in respect of his reli
gious.tenets, should pay treble damages to
the party agrieved, and twventy 'shillings -to
the- proprietary-:-that those-representing any
with. approbrious names of religious distinc
tion, should forfeit ten shillings to tie per.
sons injured:. that any .cque speaking re
poachfully against the..blessed Virgin. or
the Apostler, should forf eit five poundsi; but"
blasphemy against God should be punished
with death." H e add s, *"It was also enac
ted by the same law, that-in case 6fiinabili

ofending party should be whipped--and in
the case of using reproachful words con
eerning the A postles or Evangelists, for the
third'-offense,'the- punishment .wasscoup/sca

Underthe administration or'.Fendall, com-,
missioned- as .Governor. of the .colony by
Lord Baltimole, in 1656,-the Quakers were
aprehended add whkipped. {E. 44, 45.).
In the year 1689, a Protestant association
was formed which resisted the authority'of
the Deputy Governors. In an address to
the k.ing,- they -sought to justify themselves
by reporting the grievances -to -which'-they
were subjected. They cohapained': of the
"seiing P'rotestlints in 'thiewr houses' ith

In'1691, King Williain saisioned the frev

WISNUNION. SENTIMENT AT, THE SOIIT..
The New York Mirror thinks :eorgia
and Virginia'ars. earodstly.prepadiog- for a
dissolution of the Union ;.'while the' Abolition
-press of the North,' with its daily irritations;
wve are told; is goadiog even'.the cooler clas'
-ses of-the South into a State of indignation,
which-will inevitablylepd to rash ani reek
less iction. -The editor adds':
A distinguished gentleman and statesman,
who-has.just returned from a -tour through
the-Southern States, informsus that the -per.
vading feeling of the South is' fearfully de
termined against the North;, and that-they
are preparing, -not only for an independent
confederation, but are even looking towards
a free trade alliance with England. -And,
notwithstanding all the- ravings of the -British.
'Abolitionists- against 'American slavery;
should the day of disunion ever come'Eng.
land would- be the first to take' the South by.
the.hand, and court her for her cotton. inore
than she has'ever cursed her for-slaves.
,We trust that "Georgia and-Virginia are
earnestly }preparing for a dissolution of the Un
ion." Ins truth, we. believe that the.disuniorr
sentiment is'stronger now than it ever-was.
before amongst the- people. of those States
and the whole South:' And 'the abolition agi
tation at the North will but'serve to deepen
and strengthen this sentiment, if the politi
cians of the South are not permitted to stul
tify the people with the "fafse declaration
" that the country enjoys a repose, and the
South a'security; uion. the sfaveiy question;
so'far as statutory legislation is concerned;
greater than she has enjoyed since- 1787.r
(.eorgia has even now- taken her position
-declared her ultimatum, through primary.
conventions of her people.-. Judging from'
tone of- the' press, Virginia is preparing to
take'the. same position.
This is all 'right and proper, and -we re
joice to observe the signs of a determiped
spirit of resistance to Northern vandalism
multiplying around-s .U(- But - we cannot for
get, ifwe would, that Virginia and' Georgia
took this same- position in-- 1849---leclared
through their Legislatures that they would
resist the admission of -California into the
Union even to the disruption of the--tiei
that bind them to- the 'Coifederation.-'

For, ourselves, we declare that -nough
but overt acts of resistance-the outright
disruption of the bonds of the -Union--*ill
convince us ia the people of Virginia and
Georgia will carry their resolves into effect.
Still, there is hope of -a dissolution of the
